The Stand

The Stand - Dr. John Neihof

We live in a superhero culture of mythological fascination. Stories of good triumphing over evil have been supplanted with narratives of conflicted sorcerers using raw power to accomplish some end that they have justified as good. No meta-narrative of right and wrong, cosmic good over cosmic evil, or redemption is advanced. Rather, the end justifies any means necessary. Brute power is the tool. Moral compromise is the means. Calculated destruction of moral principles and truth signpost the path of absolute power’s dominance.
